Wren Warner

As a gender non-conforming person in the queer and trans community, Wren has known people affected by the gender stickers on the SEPTA (Southeastern Pennsylvania Public Transit Authority) TransPass. As a filmmaker, they feel that it is their duty to use their knowledge and resources to aid efforts to stop gender exclusion and gender policing. For their project, Wren will make a short, creative documentary about the negative affects of the gender stickers on the SEPTA Transpass. They will interview community members and people that have been affected both directly and indirectly by the policy, including trans people from a wide range of race, age, ability, and gender identities as well as SEPTA employees. The goal is to encourage audience members to take action and to influence SEPTA to remove the stickers, in the end creating a safer space for trans and gender variant people. Wren believes that through focusing on this very specific topic, they can create awareness and education about gender inclusion and visibility in the world.
